Trust Scale

The aim of this study is to assess the teaching practices of Malay Language teachers in implementing the elements of higher-order thinking skills in the teaching and learning of Malay Language using the Cognitive Research Trust (CoRT) Scale. Essentially, the scales comprises six devices, namely CoRT 1 (Breadth), CoRT 2 (Organization), CoRT 3 (Interaction), CoRT 4 (Critical Thinking), CoRT 5 (Information and Feeling), and CoRT 6 (Action) that are related to CoRT tests, namely PMI (Plus, Minus, Interesting), CAF (Consider All Factors), C&S (Consequence & Sequel), AGO (Aims, Goal, Objectives), FIP (First, Important, Priorities), APC (Alternatives, Possibilities, Choice), and OPV (Other People’s Views). This study used a qualitative approach using the observation method to elicit data from a study sample consisting of six Malay Language teachers from several schools with as sizeable indigenous or Orang Asli student population in the district of Batang Padang. A descriptive qualitative analysis was conducted to draw pertinent findings of the teachers’ understanding and practices of HOTS. The analysis of the data revealed that the teaching and learning of the subject matter were infused with the elements of HOTS, with the teachers employing a combination of the CoRT devices and thinking techniques. Such an infusion of skills was made evidently clear by students’ answers that demonstrated high critical thinking skills. These findings underscore the importance of using the Cognitive Research Trust Scale to assess the implementation of HOTS in the teaching and learning practice of the Malay Language. In conclusion, the proper and judicious use of CoRT devices and thinking techniques can help students to develop HOTS, which are extremely important to enable them to think and solve problems critically and creatively.

Higher Order Thinking Skills

As stakeholders of educational systems, teachers are urged to participate in social change through the implementation of critical thinking skills into the educational setting. English language teaching has primarily focused on critical thinking, particularly in the recent years. Therefore, teachers are required to examine their teaching materials to ensure that they meet the needs of the 21st century. This study investigates the extent of implemented higher-order thinking skills using revised Bloom’s taxonomy. It examines tasks in course books used at the College of Technological Studies at the Public Authority of Applied Education and Training in Kuwait. The course books examined are Tech Talk at the elementary, pre-intermediate, and intermediate levels. The findings of this study prove that most of the tasks in the sample chosen encourage students’ lower cognitive skills. Therefore, syllabus and material designers and teachers should include tasks that foster higher-order cognitive skills. The results are expected to serve as reference for direct language teachers when planning lessons in their course book adaptation and with curriculum development.

Pada abad 21 diperlukan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi (HOTs) yang mencakup kemampuan berpikir kritis dan berpikir kreatif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan interpretasi, analisis, inferensi, kelancaran dan orisinalitas siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal pola dan barisan bilangan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah deskriptif kualitatif dan subjek sebanyak 40 siswa yang terdiri 19 siswa SMPN 5 Bantan dan 21 Siswa MTS Al-Huda. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa (1) tes tertulis yang berorientasikan HOTs dan (2) pedoman wawancara.  Hasil tes menunjukkan rata-rata HOTs siswa SMPN 5 Bantan (49,34) dan MTS Al-Huda (45,12) berkategori cukup.  Skor tiap indikator HOTs untuk siswa SMPN 5 Bantan diketahui bahwa interpretasi= 48,68, analisis= 40,13, inferensi= 64,47, kelancaran= 52,68 dan orisinalitas= 40,79 sedangkan untuk siswa MTs Al-Huda adalah interpretasi= 61,18, analisis= 40,79, inferensi= 53,57, kelancaran= 38,16 dan orisinalitas= 45,24. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara juga diketahui bahwa rendahnya HOTs siswa dikarenakan siswa tidak terbiasa dalam menyelesaikan soal HOTs serta tidak tersedianya soal-soal HOTs yang secara khusus mengukur HOTs di sekolah, sehingga diharapkan adanya penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai soal-soal HOTs.Students' Thinking Ability in Solving HOTs Questions on Material Patterns and Rows of NumbersAbstractIn the 21st century, higher order thinking skills (HOTs) are needed which include critical thinking skills and creative thinking. The purpose of this study is to describe the students’ ability of interpretation, analysis, inference, fluency and originality in solving questions about patterns and rows of numbers. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative and as many as 40 students consisting of 19 students of SMPN 5 Bantan and 21 students of Al-Huda MTS. The instrument used in the form of (1) written tests oriented to HOTs and (2) interview guidelines. The test results showed the average level of SMPN 5 Bantan students’ HOTs (49.34) and MTS Al-Huda (45.12) was categorized as sufficient. The score of each indicator of HOTs for SMPN 5 Bantan students is known that interpretation= 48.68, analysis= 40.13, inference= 64.47, fluency= 52.68 and originality= 40.79 while for MTs Al-Huda students are interpretation= 61.18, analysis= 40.79, inference= 53.57, fluency= 38.16 and originality= 45.24. Based on the interview results it is also known that the low level of students’ HOTs is because students are not accustomed to solving HOTs questions and the unavailability of HOTs questions that specifically measure HOTs in schools, so it is hoped that further research on questions of HOTs.

It is generally perceived that a substantial number of engineering faculty are still unaware of alternative educational methods, and many who are aware of them choose not to incorporate them into their approach to teaching. There are several likely reasons for this inertia, aside from the inevitable human resistance to change. The primary focus of imparting information is restricted to fulfilling the course requirements and, the upcoming term end examination. It is imperative to adopt a change from teaching to learning paradigm engaging the students in Higher Order Thinking Skills. Knowledge and technological advancements are changing the role of engineering and engineering faculty in the society. Engineering Education reforms need to focus on inductive teaching and stimulated learning. Students should be taught critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills to keep pace with the rapidly changing engineering profession. This paper reports the study done to test and explore the faculty awareness of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in the cognitive domain and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and to evaluate question papers set by engineering faculty with respect to HOTS as proposed by Bloom’s Taxonomy. Various active learning strategies to enhance critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills of the students are recommended for use by the faculty in their interactions with the students.

Abstrak: Dewasa ini, critical thinking atau yang lebih dikenal dengan keterampilan berpikir kritis menjadi topik yang sering dibahas karena merupakan kemampuan yang mutlak dimiliki di era milenial ini. Terlebih pada bidang pendidikan, mulai dari tingkat sekolah dasar, sekolah menengah, sampai di tingkat pendidikan tinggi. Pendidikan sudah tidak relevan lagi jika masih mengajarkan anak dengan sistem menghafal materi-materi sehingga pembelajaran hanya fokus pada mengingat saja. Padahal, yang lebih penting adalah peserta didik memahami, menganalisis, mengevaluasi, atau bahkan menciptakan berbagai macam pemecahan masalah dari berbagai masalah yang ada pada materi-materi pembelajaran. Kreativitas merupakan hal yang sangat penting di sini. Melatih anak untuk berpikir kritis terhadap sesuatu dan menawarkan solusi yang masuk akal perlu dijadikan titik fokus pembelajaran bahkan penilaian. Oleh karena itu, mengingat pentingnya keterampilan berpikir kritis ini, peneliti mencoba untuk memaparkan karakteristik keterampilan berpikir kritis pada pembelajaran Mata Kuliah Fonologi yang dilaksanakan oleh mahasiswa semester II. Karakteristik ini meliputi soal yang digunakan dalam evaluasi pembelajaran dan juga hasil evaluasi yang didapatkan. Dengan demikian, diharapkan dapat menghasilkan gambaran keterampilan berpikir kritis pada pengaplikasian pembelajaran di kelas.  Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan masih rendahnya keterampilan berpikir kritis mahasiswa ketika mengerjakan soal-sal HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills). Kata Kunci: berpikir kritis, evaluasi pembelajaran, HOTS   Abstract: Nowadays, critical thinking or better known as critical thinking skills is a topic that is often discussed because it is an absolute ability to have in this millennial era. Especially in the field of education, starting from the elementary school level, secondary school, up to the level of higher education. Education is no longer relevant if it still teaches children with a system of memorizing materials so learning only focuses on remembering it. In fact, what is more important is students understand, analyze, evaluate, or even create various kinds of problem solving from various problems that exist in learning materials. Creativity is very important here. Train children to think critically about something and offer solutions that make sense need to be the focal point of learning and even assessment. Therefore, given the importance of this critical thinking skill, the researcher tries to explain the characteristics of critical thinking skills in the learning of Phonology Courses conducted by the second semester students. These characteristics include the questions used in the evaluation of learning and also the evaluation results obtained. Thus, it is expected to produce a picture of critical thinking skills in the application of learning in the classroom. The results of this study indicate that students' critical thinking skills are still low when working on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) questions. Keywords: critical thinking, evaluation of learning, HOTS
